Captain Hook: The Modelling Begins!

The past few days have been spent slaving away in an attempt to create a base mesh of Captain Hook which, as similar to that of an essay, will undergo several drafts before being transferred to ZBRUSH were the really magic happens!

Here are few quick renders of the model to give you an idea of progress so far, baring in mind this is the first draft and many improvements are still to be made!

As I'm sure you can see on even first glances, the proportions are wrong. They need work, and alot of it! However, as a first draft, the basics are now laid down and time is now needed to perfect loop flow and the characters anatomy and proportions. In particular (but in no ways limiting to), the arms seems too short, his hips are too high, the torso is not exaggerated nor wide enough at the top (near the arm pits). Also, more definition is needed in the muscle values of the arms and legs. And last but no least, the legs are too close together and too thin.

Although the majority of Captain Hook's body will be hidden under clothing, the more accurate I can get the body now, the easier adding clothes through extracting the faces of a body duplicate will be.

More pictures of progress to follow!
